Learning to walk again with HAL training

Standing again after years in a wheelchair, taking your first steps, maybe even running – for many people with paralysis or neurological disorders, this sounds impossible. But thanks to robot-assisted HAL training at Cyberdyne Care Robotics in Bochum, this is becoming a reality. Our video report provides an exciting insight into the work with a "Cyborg", the active exoskeleton HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) and how the training system makes it possible to relearn lost movement skills in a targeted manner.

The HAL system works with bioelectric signals and translates these into supported movements. It uses the principles of neuroplasticity to achieve long-term improvements in mobility through repeated transmission of stimuli from the brain to the muscles. Physiotherapists can use precise controls to individually adapt the movement support and thus ensure effective, patient-specific training.

The video consists of impressive success stories to show how patients become mobile again step by step with the HAL system – from the first assisted movements to independent walking. It provides professionals with helpful insights into the technical and neurological principles of HAL training and illustrates how this technology can improve physiotherapy.

Find out how HAL training not only promotes physical recovery, but also enhances patients' enjoyment of life.
